Two sisters, sister A and sister B, play SCRABBLE with each other every evening. Sister A is a statistician, and she draws a ran

dom sample of 30 results from the 1,420 total games that have been played to construct a confidence interval estimate of p, the proportion of SCRABBLE games between her and her sister that she has won. Her 95% confidence interval estimate of p is LCL = 0.36, UCL = 0.69.
A 95% confidence interval estimate of the total number of games sister A has won out of the 1,450 games that have been played is LCL =___________ and UCL = ___________

The Illinois State Toll Highway Authority is conducting a study to estimate the proportion of low-income commuters who drive to work on a toll road. The project manager wants to estimate the proportion to within 0.03 with 95% confidence, and the project manager believes that p will turn out to be approximately 0.11.

A sample size no smaller than __________ is needed.

Answer:

First question: LCL = 522, UCL = 1000.5

Second question: A sample size no smaller than 418 is needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

First question:

Lower bound:

0.36 of 1450. So

0.36*1450 = 522

Upper bound:

0.69 of 1450. So

0.69*1450 = 1000.5

LCL = 522, UCL = 1000.5

Second question:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

The margin of error is:

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

The project manager believes that p will turn out to be approximately 0.11.

This means that \pi = 0.11

95% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.05, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975, so Z = 1.96.

The project manager wants to estimate the proportion to within 0.03

This means that the sample size needed is given by n, and n is found when M = 0.03. So

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

0.03 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.11*0.89}{n}}

0.03\sqrt{n} = 1.96\sqrt{0.11*0.89}

\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96\sqrt{0.11*0.89}}{0.03}

(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96\sqrt{0.11*0.89}}{0.03})^2

n = 417.9

Rounding up

A sample size no smaller than 418 is needed.

A squared minus 1/4 is 0. solve for a
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

a=1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

first we need to isolate a squared. so we add 1/4 to both sides

then you take the square root of a square to get 1/2

to check, 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4

1/4-1/4 = 0

56 books; 75% decrease
suter [353]
75% of 56 is .75 * 56
.75 * 56 = 42
Because you are decreasing, you subtract 42 from 56.
56 - 42 = 14
A 75% decrease of 56 books would leave 14 books.
